Pigments

I found it is always good to have a basic understanding of the pigment you use .One way the obtain this information is through a colour chart, they are invaluable to obtain information of the colours whether they are transparent ,semi/transparent staining etc .Taking note of the pigment numbers is a good way to see if the colour is the same from one brand to another as different brands call the pigments by various names there can be minor differences basically the same hue.
PY is for a Yellow
PR is for a Red
PB is for a Blue
This 2 letters are in front of all pigment numbers and now most house brands display this on the product.Artist want this information so that they can pigments choose wisely.

The way they work you can paint one colour onto the surface when dry, choose another colour to go over it and you will see what hue that has become ,you can add the same colour in the next glaze or another colour to change the hue ,you can do this as many times as required until the value has been reached.  

I'm sure every Aritst has wondered when coming to the end of a painting what another glaze will look like ,now you can just do that, without the worry of going too dark you can deepen glaze by glaze .Colour choises become easier as you have the luxury of seeing through the colour viewer what it will eventualy look like before you commit giving you a preview.
 I have found this a great  tool for working with on my paintings
